Saint Charles Therapists specializing in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Kevin Herbert

While I work with every age from preschool to the elderly, I typically work with adults who are facing a challenge that has made life difficult to manage. Are you seeking someone who understands suffering? Whether recent loss, painful trauma or a moment of deep personal crisis, you seek someone who has been there and understands what it takes to stand up again.

Mareayna Caine

Together, we identify core issues, feelings, and resolve problems while developing healthy coping skills. Increasing self empowerment creates an opportunity for you to embrace your own unique strength and power. We will create a new mindset of mental healing, emotional growth, and self-discovery.

Alyssa Lazzeroni

I work with the healers and helpers who not only have seen the worst in their work, but also have a personal history of trauma. So many in the healing and helping professions have their own backgrounds that fueled their fire to care for others. I work with healthcare workers, birth workers, activists, and other helping professionals who want to move from an inner place of fear, imposter syndrome and co-dependency to a place of inner safety and confidence with awareness and boundaries in place.

Stephanie Lessmeier

Many people overestimate the experiences that cause PTSD, and invalidate their experiences, saying things like, “I haven’t been through any big traumas, I can’t have PTSD.” And yet so many of my clients that struggle with perfectionism, inadequacy, low self esteem, and shame have many PTSD symptoms that they brush aside. Identifying and resolving past trauma, can greatly reduce our suffering.

Marie Bonner-Horon

I work with individuals ages 3 and up. I use different creative techniques: play, art, digital gaming, sand, and humor as tools to help make the environment more comfortable for my clients to share and then heal. I keep a safe and non-judgmental healing space.

Melissa Webb

I have worked with individuals with PTSD for over 7 years. Trained in EMDR therapy to help decrease the intensity of the traumatic event. I’ve also worked with individuals that have self-harmed, had thoughts of suicide, or have displayed other behaviors (overeating, low self-esteem, promiscuity, etc.) due to PTSD.

Kara Shaughnessy

I am skilled in working with individuals experiencing intense or overwhelming emotions, feeling stressed or just “stuck” in life. For these individuals, it may feel as though emotions come on quickly or are difficult to manage. While we all try to do the best we can to problem solve and manage life stressors, sometimes what we’ve been doing is no longer working for us. I work with adults in exploring their sense of self and building their identity, improving self-worth and self-compassion.

Mekeya Jama

PTSD can occurs when people experience or witness a life-threatening event. It's normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after this type of event. But, when symptoms last more than a few months, it may be PTSD. You are not alone, PTSD can be effectively treated through psychotherapy. I can help you identify your pattern in a safe space by utilizing evidence based approaches.

Kristen Hood

If you have been feeling off for a while now and may need help figuring out the reason behind your feelings of anger, anxiety, or sadness, I would love to come along side of you and help make sense of your feelings and experiences. If you are worried about a loved one, especially an adolescent or young adult, I would love to engage them in a therapeutic process that they will find relief and enjoyment from.

Scott Morrow

I currently have openings for daytime, evenings, and weekends for adults seeking psychotherapy services for long term, chronic, or situational depression, stress, anxiety and chronic disorders.

Melissa Anderson

I work with individuals, 18 and older, who are often exploring gender and sexuality, experiencing transitions of all kinds, and facing complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and chronic stress. I enjoy working with all sorts of people, especially undergrad/grad students and LGBTQIA+ folks. I know reflecting on our behaviors, thought patterns, and life experiences can be really difficult, and I’m committed to supporting you through that process.

Brittany Doty

I have recently completed training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and am working on certifcation. I have been working with individuals who are trying to resolve trauma for over a year. Trauma is something that effects most individuals in one way or another and I have made this an area of focus for my professional career. I don't just look at an individual's trauma, I look at the person as a whole, take into account their experiences and find the best path for healing.

Nichole Oliver LPC, NCC, CCTP

Specializing in treatments for complex traumas can help you with these symptoms: Reduce reactivity, flashbacks, rumination, hypervigilance, anger, avoidance, insomnia, chronic pain and the fluctuation between flooding and feeling numb, "wired and tired." Remove the emotional charge of traumatic memories, family patterns, self-defeating language, subconscious mechanisms, habits and behaviors.

Dora Angevine

Justin Hampton

I have a particular passion and specialty in working with the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) population. I also enjoy helping clients cope with depression and mood issues, self-criticism/ shame, anxiety disorders, trauma, life changes, social discontent, grief/loss, and illnesses/conditions such as HIV/AIDS. I'm Sex-Positive, Kink-Aware, and Supportive of "Alternative" Relationship Structures. I work with all ages of adults- individually and within relationships.

Deb Crawford

Most of my clients are LGBTQ+ adults and teens/adolescents. I generally see folx who have anxiety, depression, anger issues, and trauma, which generally all results from childhood trauma and lifespan stress. My clients are people who are trying to better understand why they do what they do and how to be better.

Katy Stevener

Life can get overwhelming. We have all gone through times when we have felt pressure to do more or be more than we think we can manage. This kind of unrelenting stress can lead to anxiety, depression, burnout and relationship problems. I know as I have lived it and therapy changed my life. After several years working in the financial industry, it became clear to me that it was time to forge a new path as a counselor, healer and guide.

Yoshiko Hall

We may be a good fit for each other if any of the following statements describe you: • You’ve been struggling with your relationships with your family and/or friends. • You have a hard time saying no to others, and want to learn how to set appropriate boundaries. • You want to connect with yourself and come to a deeper understanding of who you are, and what you desire in life. • You live between cultures and can’t seem to find the middle ground.

Suzanne Rapisardo

Is your mind going constantly? Do you feel like you should be able to relax, focus, and enjoy your life, but instead are feeling overwhelmed and defeated? The people I work with are intelligent, motivated, and also incredibly frustrated. They are ready to work through old trauma, limiting beliefs about themselves, difficulties with attention, and worry, but doing it on their own just isn’t working.
